Nurse

If your child needs a medication in school you can
download this form and have the doctor complete it. An adult needs to
bring the form and medicine (in the original labeled container/box) to
the Health Suite. This form is used for prescription and
non-prescription medications that may be needed by your child during the
school day.

Administration of Certain Nonprescription Medications
BCPS school nurses can administer certain nonprescription medications with your permission only
at no charge, for all students. Approved discretionary medications are
intended for occasional use only and are given under physician directed
nursing protocols for a limited number of conditions. This service is
designed to alleviate your child’s minor discomforts and to avoid early
dismissals from school. If you would like to have this service
available to your child, complete theConsent for Administration of Approved Discretionary Medications and return it to the school nurse. If
your child requires nonprescription medications on a regular basis, you
must obtain a written order from your health care provider and supply
the medication (see above order form).
